- So I purchased this guy four years ago with the intent of doing the bodywork, then getting it painted and drive it around with my arm hanging out the window. Unfortunately, I am now older and had a couple injuries that most folks my age do not recover completely from. So I am trying to sell this to someone that would appreciate and coddle it. It is a matching numbers 440 car, engine date coded late 1969. I do not think the transmission matches. This car was stripped and repainted many years ago it looks like and has a little filler for dings and dents. I have a conscience and do not want to mislead or flat lie about anything. So, if interested, please ask questions or better yet, come see it.
- It has rust in non typical places that I have seen while looking around. To me the rust around the door pillars/cowl on both sides are the most difficult.
- So here is what I have:
- Tilt steering, column shift
- Factory AC
- Chrome mirrors in decent shape
- Hood signal lights
- Rear bumper w/rubber moulding (removed as of now)
- Rear window defogger
- Rocker Mouldings
- Electric windows
- Electric antenna
- The 440 ran but smoked and was told it was valve guide seals
- I did a compression test on five cylinders and they are around 125 to 130
- Automatic transmission
- 8 ¾ rear, not sure if sure grip and gear ratio
- The frame rails look good I think (have pics)
- The quarterpanels are probably salvageable. The driver side will need a patch panel and the passenger side minor filler. (have pics) Both sides need patching around rear windows but are covered with moulding which I have.
- The driver side front fender is decent but will need a patch panel and has a dent up front (have pics)
- The passenger side front fender will need minor filler (have pics)
- Both doors will need minor filler
- The roof looks like it had a vinyl top, very possibly was manufactured for a T top or moon roof w/surface rust
- Around both front and rear windshields will need minor filler
- The passenger front door sags. The pillar/cowl will need repaired, probably replaced
- The driver front door does not sag, but will need the pillar/cowl repaired or replaced. IMO these two places are what is BAD. The rest of the body is repairable according to a highly regarded body man
- The hood has surface rust around the 440 callout
- The trunk lid is in nice shape, small dent where it closes.
- Both sides need trunk gutters replaced. I have one side.
- The dutchman panel needs work but I have a used replacement
- The grill and all trim are with the car, all needs some attention though
- Probably 95% of the parts are there, just need some attention.
- Please PM me with any questions and I will get back to you as soon as humanly possible. I have more pics too.
- Located in Winchester VA. $14K OBO.
